Vilnius to hold a record picnic with traditional food and Georgian Borjomi

On Friday afternoon Vilnius
residents and guests are invited to a record size Lithuanian picnic next to the
White Bridge. The aim of the picnic is to raise public awareness about the
importance of nutrition and encourage urban residents to break away from their
intensive day work at least for a lunch, writes LETA/ELTA.

Nutritionist Laisvune Petkeviciene says that nowadays busy people rarely find
some time for a healthy food option at lunch time. According to the expert,
fresh air dining allows forgetting one's daily worries and troubles for some
minutes.

Ieva Semerikovaite, marketing
manager of natural Georgian mineral Borjomi which initiated the picnic idea
also agrees with the nutritionist.

"The results of our polls
showed that half of Lithuanians admit they eat unhealthy and 50.4 percent of
them said they never dine in open air. We would like to see the situation
changing and more people breaking away from their busy pace of life by eating
in parks and other green spaces in cities. We hope that this record breaking
picnic will draw the attention of Lithuanians and urge them to join us,"
she said.

The organisers of the event say
that picnickers will receive gift from Borjomi – natural Georgian mineral water
and traditional Lithuanian food brought from local farmers.

“Knowing entrepreneurship”: challenges for the Baltics’ authorities There at least two main world’s resources for analysing entrepreneurship: the World Bank yearly reports “doing business” and the OECD regional/national analysis. For already eight years the Amway reports are becoming popular as well. These reports make policy makers better understand the ways to assist business.
